Default Funny Nissan brochure for 2004

I just got my 2004 350Z brochure in the mail from Nissan. When they mention the stereo they call it a "re-tuned" Bose stereo.

I guess they got a LOT of complaints. To a new buyer the phrase "re-tuned" begs the question "re-tuned compared to what".


I can not believe how little information is in the brochure. It has lots of pictures and lots of "prose" but the actual information in the brochure would fit on a single index card.

Hey, look in the broshure for the page of the silver roadster driving towards the mountains, and on the opposite page reads "Goes like hell. Feels like heaven." Ok, look at hte driver and the top of his head... An African american, right? Now look in the rear view mirror, its a White guy!! Nice photo retouch, Nissan!

Wow, if that is true (I will have to look when I get home) that is NOT cool. Doing a poor photoshop job just adds insult to the injury.

Nissan USA seems to be fairly insane as a company. They didn't respond well to the Bose issues. They were crappy with information on the Roadster. The web site is a mess. The brochure lack any real meat.

the only reason Nissan USA is afloat is because Nissan keeps cranking out great cars that are great bargains.

AndyB,

How did you get a 2004 350Z brochure from Nissan? I have been trying to get one, but none of the dealers in my area have any!

Please ... I want to read some of that useless stuff!

That dude's hair looks light brown. How can that be a black dude if he has light brown hair?

Am I looking at the wrong thing?

EDIT:
Or is it not his hair but a shaved head? Can't tell from the picture.


-D'oh!

Sorry about the poor picture but in the brochure you can clearly see that it's not hair that is a bald head.

What probably happened was after they took the picture, the guys head was completely behind the headrest and didn't look right... they needed to have a drivers head sticking out, and a bald head is much easier to photoshop in there...

No...you're so close but not quite.
The black dude in the picture is Kobe Bryant. Because of the sex scandal, Nissan had it replaced by Tom Cruise.
